Brume Tower Walkthrough

A full walkthrough including all the items, enemies and bosses goes here. You can add links, images. and other details.

To enter the DLC, you need to go to the primal bonfire in Iron Keep and examine the obelisk that is in the room after the bonfire. You will be teleported to a new area.

Here you will see some stairs going up and a room on each side. The side rooms can be used by players that don't have the DLC, they can place their summon signs there and be summoned into the Iron Passage or the Memory of the Old Iron King (random). Go up the stairs and open the big door with the Heavy Iron Key.

Straight ahead is an elevator, step on it and when it stops cross the mist wall. Turn right and go up the stairs. You will see some bodies on the floor and what appears to be the remains of an Ashen Idol holding an item, pick up the 6x Smelter Wedges from the Idol and go up the chain. Right in front of you will be the Throne Floor bonfire, light it and keep going forward.

As soon as you reach an ash covered area after some stairs, an Ashen Idol will emerge. If you want, you can get close to it to examine it, use the Smelter Wedge to destroy it and pick up the Soul of Nadalia, Bride of Ash (fragment) it drops, however, its recommended that you leave this Idol intact till the end of the DLC. The reason is because this Idol is very easy to come back to, since its so close to the first bonfire, and if you want go straight to the main boss, you will need this Smelter Wedge for one of the Idols that keeps healing the boss. You can later get more wedges and return here to destroy the idol and get the fragment of the Soul of Nadalia.

Go down the stairs on the left side (the stairs on the right) and pick up a Dexterity Ring. Go back up and down the doorway ahead. Down the stairs and drop to the elevator, then drop again to the round platform. Pick up 2x Old Growth Balm from the body and again to the level below.

Go through the doorway and down to an ash field. An Ashen Warrior will emerge from the ash, kill it and pick up 2x Twilight Herb from the body on the left. Destroy all ash figures and pickup a Large Soul of a Proud Knight.

Go down the ramp and get ready for a fight with a group of Ashen Warriors that will emerge from the ash. After you kill all 4 check on your right for an item on a body near some bars, it's a Rouge Water.

Back to the main route, enter the doorway and go down the ladder. Go around the round structure before going down the next ladder and pick up a Blackweed Balm.

Go down the next ladder, behind you is a body holding a Scythe+7, go through the doorway and pick up 10x Prism Stone from the body. Keep going down that hallway and you will see a chest that has a Titanite Slab.

Down the next ladder and you will be in a big room with an Ashen Idol in the center and some Ashen Warriors. The Ashen Idol will keep buffing the Ashen Warriors if you don't destroy it. To the right there is a room with 2 more Ashen Warriors and a body holding the pyromancy Dance of Fire.

In the main room destroy the idol for another Soul of Nadalia, Bride of Ash (fragment) and kill all enemies. In the end of the room on the left, there will be a lever, pull it to open the metal door. Go through the door and turn left.

Open the metal door on the right at the end of the patio and enter a room with 3 Barrel Carriers. They are not aggressive unless attacked. Be careful with them, the barrels are explosive and there is a fire source nearby.

Kill them if you want and go down the ladder on the left. Down the stairs there is a body holding 2x Goldenfruit Balm. A Possessed Armor will attack you, kill it and keep going forward. Be careful with the barrel carriers in the next section and head to the balcony through the doorway.

Go down the ladder, kill the Ashen Warrior there and go down the next ladder. 2 more Ashen Warriors will be waiting there, kill them and open the wooden chest on the right for a Caestus+8.

Enter the doorway and on the right you will find the Upper Floor bonfire.

Continue forward and you will see a metal door, it doesn't open from this side so turn left and open the wooden chest for 3x Twinkling Titanite. Go back to the bonfire, follow the right path and cross the mist wall.

Turn left into an alcove and then to the right and go down the ladder at the end, follow the path and turn right into a room with some dead bodies and a metal door. Open the door and there will be 3 barrel carriers and a covered hole in the floor. A body near a ladder in the end holds 3x Radiant Lifegem.

Now you need to go down the ladder, but beware that down there you will be surrounded by tough enemies, several Ashen Warriors and a Iron Warrior. (An easy way to kill them is by making barrel carriers fall through the hole and let them blast near the iron warrior. )

Keep going down the path and 2 Ashen Warriors will emerge, backed up by a Fume Sorcerer further back shooting spells. As you approach the sorcerer, another Ashen Warrior will emerge. Keep moving forward, you will see a body on the left with an item and another sorcerer further ahead. The item is a Human Effigy, kill the sorcerer first then pick the item up.

Go down the ladder and into the next area. Pull the lever at the end near the metal bars. In this area there will be many flame spitting heads, remember that you could move them by hitting them with sword or arrows. This is useful in toning down health of sorcerers or Iron Warriors, or blasting barrel carriers near them. Kill the sorcerer after the flame spitting head. Behind the sorcerer is a breakable wall with a chest, the chest contains 8x Petrified Dragon Bone, the wall can only be broken by exploding a Barrel Carrier.

Pull the next lever and kill the sorcerer nearby, run/roll by the flame spitting statue and kill 2 more sorcerers, behind these 2 sorcerers is another breakable wall that has a chest holding Catarina Leggings and Gauntlets. Further down the path is another lever and an Iron Warrior. After killing the warrior, pull that lever and the other lever next to it.

Head outside and turn left into a small doorway, at the end turn left into a small room and go up the ladder. Pull the lever to open a shortcut to the previous bonfire and pick up a Dried Root. Go back and cross the chain on the left. Enter the mist wall and kill the 5 Ashen Crawlers in that hallway.

In the end of the corridor there is a body with 2x Petrified Dragon Bone. Go through the doorway and down the ladder. You will be invaded by the NPC Quicksword Rachel, she will be waiting at the bottom of the ladder. Kill her and open the metal doors.

2 Ashen Crawlers will be waiting behind each door. Behind one door are 2 bodies that hold 2x Twinkling Titanite and the hex Recollection, a Fume Sorcerer will appear after you pick up the items. One of the door will lead to a ladder, go down that ladder and keep following the path until you reach another metal door, open it and 6 Ashen Crawlers will be guarding the Scorching Iron Scepter. Try and use some alluring skulls to get them to kill each other for you. If you can't bait them into fratercide, do a suicide run to grab the scepter.

Go back to where you exited the elevator and use the Tower Key on the locked door in front of it.

Follow the path and go down the stairs. On the right is a body holding 2x Twilight Herb. The elevator there will take you down to an optional area, the Iron Passage.

Go back to the Foyer Bonfire and take the elevator that goes down (right in front of the bonfire). Step out at the bottom and go right to the next elevator going down. When it stops, don't step out, wait for it to start going up again and jump/roll to the platform above. Follow that path and enter the room. On the left is a chest that has a Strength Ring.

Drop down the hole and kill the Ashen Warrior there. Drop down the next hole and be careful not to step on the patched ground, or you will go down a few levels of patched grounds and die at the bottom. This floor has 1 Ashen Warrior, the next floor has 2 Ashen Warriors, the one after has another Ashen Warrior. The next one has no enemy and the one after that has 2 Ashen Warrior.

Drop to the final floor and deal with an Iron Warrior. After killing him pull the lever to open the metal door.

Go to the other doorway and take the elevator down at the end of the room.

You will see a large ash field and a mist door.

Don't enter the mist yet. Turn right and an Iron Warrior will emerge, kill him and continue right, another will emerge. After killing this one keep going until you see a bonfire on the right. Light the Lowermost Floor bonfire and now destroy the 4 Ashen Idols with Smelter Wedges. If you don't destroy them, they will keep healing the boss that is inside that structure. At this point, consider doing the optional stuff listed below.

Fun fact: Although you will die doing so, it is possible to jump from the top of the tower to the bottom, near the Fume Knight.

Optional Content in Brume Tower

The guide above focused on the essential and on loot that doesn't take the player too far away from the main objective, but Brume Tower has more areas to explore and more items to get.

It's recommended to explore these areas wearing the Hollow Skin, because two of them inflict curse and this head gear gives the player 1000 curse resist, and before killing the Fume Knight so other players can be summoned to help.

Hollow Skin: After placing the Scorching Iron Scepter next to the Foyer bonfire, take the elevator up, step out and go to the next elevator going up. As soon as you step on the elevator move close to the front wall and keep pressing the "interact" button as it goes up. When it comes down an illusory wall will be open, roll into that room and open the chest that contains the Hollow Skin.

Baneful Bird Ring: This ring is close to the first bonfire of Brume Tower, but its only reachable after the Scorching Iron Scepter has been placed near the Foyer bonfire. Teleport to the first bonfire and look around, you will see a body with an item and a blocked path. Now that the elevators are working wait for the elevator nearby to come up and jump/roll to it. From the elevator walk to the landing where the body is and pick up the ring.

4x Smelter Wedge and Dispelling Ring +1: From the Foyer bonfire take the elevator going up and the next elevator going up. At the top go right and open the door at the end. Kill the Possessed Armor (exploding the Barrel Carrier nearby is the easiest way), in one of the little room on the right is a body that has 15x Lacerating Knife, pick that up and go up the stairs. Kill the Possessed Armor here and make one of the Barrel Carriers go to the fire the head is spitting, the explosion will break the wall and reveal a body holding the Dispelling Ring +1. Continue through this path, kill the 2 Ashen Warriors waiting on the left and the 2 Possessed Armor at the end (again, exploding the barrels or the carriers nearby is the easiest way), in the end of this corridor on the left there is a chest that has the 4x Smelter Wedge.

Pilgrim's Spontoon: From the Upper Floor bonfire go to the circular room with the elevators. Enter the room and turn right, wait for the elevator to be on its way up and drop to it. Let it go up and when its going down, let is pass the platform you were in initially and roll to the next one, a smaller one, enter the doorway and open the chest to pick up the Pilgrim's Spontoon. ( location video)

Life Ring +3: From the Upper Floor bonfire go to the circular room with the elevators. Enter the room and turn right, wait for the elevator to be on its way up and drop to it. Then quickly walk across to next ledge. Open the metal door and kill the Iron Warrior in that room. Open the 4th door and use a Smelter Wedge to destroy the Ashen Idol, pick up the Soul of Nadalia, Bride of Ash (fragment) and open the chest in the end of the room to pick up the Life Ring +3.

Simpleton's Ring: From the Upper Floor bonfire go to the circular room with the elevators. Enter the room and turn right, wait for the elevator to be on its way up and drop to it. When it is near the top walk into the passage to enter a room with a minotaur statue spitting fire. The statues will spin 360 degrees if hit. Kill the 2 Possessed Armor there. There is a body with loot under the fire, picking it up is very risky, it's 5x Old Radiant Lifegem. Go around the statue and roll under the fire. Open the metal door and walk to the ledge to pick up the Simpleton's Ring from the body.

Majestic Greatsword: From the Foyer bonfire turn left, go past the metal door and up the stairs on the left, kill the Ashen Warrior and go down the stairs on the right. Cross the chain and you will be invaded by Maldron the Assassin, this NPC will try to escape down the stairs when its health is low. Down there is an Ashen Idol that will heal it an buff it, so try to kill him as quickly as possible. Open the chest in the end for 2x Bonfire Ascetic. Equip the Hollow Skin before going down the stairs, since the Ashen Idol keeps this place cursed. Go down the stairs and 2 Ashen Warriors will emerge in the circular structure in the middle, and a Possessed Armor will attack you as soon as you are in range. You can't kill the Armor because of the Idol in the bottom, it will keep bringing it back to life. The best to do is to run to the bottom and destroy the idol so you can kill the enemies there. A body in the stairs at the start holds 5x Silver Talisman. In the 2nd round structure in the middle is a body holding a Alonne Greatbow+5. Don't forget to pick up the Soul of Nadalia, Bride of Ash (fragment) from where the Ashen Idol was. At the bottom of the tower is a chest that holds the Majestic Greatsword, but as soon as you get near the chest 2 Ashen Warriors will emerge.

Pyromancy Fire Snake: From the Foyer bonfire turn left and open the metal door on the left with the Tower Key, this is another cursed area, so wear the Hollow Skin.

As soon as you go down the stairs, 2 Ashen Warriors will greet you, kill them and go down the next stairs, kill the Ashen Warrior and turn left, an Ashen Warrior and a Possessed Armor will emerge. Quickly open the door on the left and destroy the Ashen Idol, now you can kill them. Pick up the Soul of Nadalia, Bride of Ash (fragment) and the 5x Large Titanite Shard from the body in the altar outside. Go to the other end of the corridor, enter the room on the right and open the chest for the pyromancy Fire Snake. Go up the stairs and turn right. The room on the left has a wooden chest that holds 3x Old Radiant Lifegem.

2x Brightbug: From the Foyer bonfire take the elevator up, on the way up jump to the first landing you see. Follow that path and shortly you will see a Crystal Lizard, kill it and pick up 3x Twinkling Titanite and 3x Titanite Chunk/1x Titanite Slab. Open the metal chest ahead and pick up 2x Brightbug.
